The Natural Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 When I see JBL, I think three things. 1. Long reign as WWE Champion. 2, Joey Styles knocking the bully out. 3 AJ Lee owning JBL on commentary when he mocked her tally marks tattoo for the date she won the WWE Divas Championship. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Was gonna say "he needs gig marks in Sharpie on his forehead" then I noticed whatever the hell they put on his arm to imitate the razor slashes. MILLION BILLION STARS~! Also, I give Bradshaw a lot of shit, but man would he absolutely stomp your ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReiseReise Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I rewatched WrestleMania 20 recently, the Hall of Fame class seemed insanely good. Heenan, Harley, JYD, Sarge, Graham, Ventura, Studd. I'm sure some would argue one or the other, but I found all of them to be worthy of a general American wrestling hall of fame. Even the "filler guys" would be good to a degree, like Tito, Valentine and Muraco. Surely not elite, but all had noteworthy careers in WWE. Of course with it being held every year, it was bound to be watered down, but I'm totally okay with people getting in as a thank you. It's not a real HoF. I'm little disappointed with guys getting in to sell DVDs or whatever. Factions getting in so they can re-induct people and all that stuff. Just seems off to me.

My favorite Ron Simmons story is when someone noticed that the Steiner Brothers were always fucking with the other wrestlers in the locker room, but they left him alone. I forget who told the story, but they went up to Ron, and asked, "The Steiners are always fucking with people, why don't they fuck with you?" Ron looked him dead in the eye and said, "because I'm unfuckwithable." He apparently wasn't joking. Another fun fact, that I may or may not have just made up...Black Dynamite is a Ron Simmons biopic. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I'd think, as college jocks, the Steiners knew not to mess with the All-American Heisman trophy candidate from florida state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Bradshaw is the classic bully parents tell their kids "just stand up to him" about. He fucked with Blackman and had to apologize to save himself from getting murdered. Never tried to "test" Shamrock, Angle, Brock, Severn, etc. Immediately became friends with Bubba when Bubba responded to his bullshit "punch the guy for real" by doing it right back. He's done good charity work. He created Tribute to the Troops. He had a lot of matches I enjoyed, and hit some great lariats. His first run in the booth was great. I have zero problem with him being in the hall of fame, but I also have zero people with Dave Meltzer's first statement on WOL about it being "what a douche" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurningBeard Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Davey Boy Smith announced as next inductee. I'm guessing Bret puts him in.

If you listen really closely to that video, I'm sure one kid outs himself as a smark. He can be heard saying "I read somewhere that he hogtied Brian Christopher in the shower!" and another kid saying "I don't even want to benefit from his charitable help, he beat up the Blue Meanie in 2005" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MORELOCK Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I'm sure that off-camera there is a contingent of kids that didn't show up to the village gathering because Eddy should have gotten a longer run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Love to park my money in a tax-free donor advised fund, then only really donate a fraction of a percent of it, then show up at the charity site to keep up appearances, then make a bunch of children who don’t know who I am shout my stage name from when I used to pretend to fight people on television while I record it to put on social media. Still not even close to the top ten worst human beings or wrestlers in the HoF, but c’mon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
